WARNING Risk of injury and poisoning
from tyre sealant
Ty re sealant is hazardous tohealth and cau‐
ses ir rita tion. Do not allow it tocome into
contact wi thyour skin, eyes or clo thing, and

#
Let the tyre inflation compressor runfo r a
maximum of ten minu tes.
The tyre should then ha veattained a tyre
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
af fected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble touse clean water.
If yo uge t tyre sealant on your clo thing, ha veit
cleaned as soon as possible with per chloroe thy‐
lene.
If, af terte n minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been
attained: #
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor. #
Unscr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
defective tyre.
Please no tethat tyre sealant may leak out when
unscr ewing thefilling hose. #
Drive forw ards or in reve rseve ry slowly for
appr oximately 10m. #
Pump up the tyre again.
Af ter a maximum of ten minu testh e tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being
attained
If th e minimum tyre pressure is not reached
af te rth e specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this ins tance.
The braking and driving characteristics may
be great lyimpaired. #
Do not continue driving. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. If, af

WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the maximum speed
limit with a tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant. #
Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h.

The emergency spa rewheel is fastened in
th e load compartment under the load com‐
partment floor.
% Not for Mercedes-Maybach vehicles.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes on fitting an emer‐
ge ncy spa rewheel:
R Check the tyre pressure of the emer gency
spa rewheel fitted. Co rrect the pressure as
necessar y.
R The maximum permissible speed with an
emer gency spa rewheel fitted is 80 km/h.
R Do not fit th e emer gency spa rewheel with
